Chapter 374 Fish Die

Why would An Liangchen need to personally kill someone? Xu Sheng wants Luo An to protect him, yet he also opposes Luo An. Is he perhaps suffering from some serious illness?

Nianyao: "If you want Luo An to protect you, why did you make him angry? You overheard Chief Escort Chu's words, why didn't you just agree?"

Xu Sheng said helplessly, "Don't you know how much he dislikes his parents? If he really believed that I was his biological son, do you think he would care about me or all this mess in Nan Yue? I might be a corpse by now."

Nianyao suddenly realized: "Actually, you think he's right?"

Xu Sheng shifted his gaze slightly, hesitated for a long while, and then said seriously, "Right and wrong are no longer important to us right now. What's important is that neither of us can die here."

Us? Xu Sheng and her?

Xu Sheng said, "So, Chief Xue, I need your help, and only you can help me."

As Nianyao stepped outside, a gust of wind sent a chill down her spine, and she became fully awake.

Xu Sheng wore her clothes to eavesdrop for three reasons: first, he was worried that An Liangchen might have a conspiracy to carry out through Shunchang Escort Agency; second, he wanted to test Dongzhi and Xiaoman's skills just in case; and third, he wanted to lure Nianyao to see him in private.

She came to find Xu Sheng intending to confront him and, incidentally, explain her plans to return to Heaven and Earth the next day. However, she not only forgot her main purpose but also had Xu Sheng incite her hatred for Dongyang, her hostility towards An Liangchen, and his schemes against Luo An.

Nianyao used to not care much about the bickering between Xu Sheng, but now she realized that Xu Sheng's scheming was no less than An Liangchen's.

But Nianyao had no way to refuse. She had an uncle's family in Nanyue. Twenty years ago, the Xue family was almost wiped out. How could she watch the tragedy repeat itself twenty years later?

What is Luo An really thinking? What does he plan to do? Is it really the only option to do what Xu Sheng said and push him a little?

When Nianyao returned to the room, Luo An was already asleep. She gently called his name a few times and patted his face lightly, but he still didn't wake up.

Nianyao sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the bottle of calming pills on the low cabinet, and muttered, "How many pills did you take? You yourself said that this medicine is bad for your health, but you still took it."

That's what happened. When Nianyao couldn't sleep lying down, and couldn't get sleepy sitting up reading, she finally got impatient, grabbed the medicine bottle, poured out a few pills without even counting them, stuffed them into her mouth, and fell asleep.

It has to be said that the medicine that Luo An personally prepared was really effective! The two slept until dawn, and when Xiao Man knocked on the door, they opened their eyes at the same time and sat up at the same time.

Xiaoman didn't wait for them to open the door and kicked it open: "Young master, madam, are you alright? Someone poisoned the water."

Poisoning someone in the manor of the World Medicine Clan? Who would be so incomprehensible?

Luo An leisurely picked up the teapot, brought it to his nose to smell, took a small sip, and looked at Xiao Man with a puzzled expression.

Xiaoman pointed outside the door: "It's true, all the fish in the pond have been poisoned to death."

Dongzhi carried a full basket of fish over and placed it in the courtyard: "Young master, they're all dead, not a single one is alive."

Luo An smelled the fish and observed its color. Nian Yao pried open the fish's mouth to look inside and then touched its scales. The two put the fish down at the same time, stood up simultaneously, and spoke at the same time.

Luo An said, "There is no poison."

Nianyao said, "They died of thirst."

The Winter Solstice and Grain Full looked at each other in bewilderment: Fish dying of thirst in a pond? That's unheard of.

Nianyao said, "The fish was caught and dried up, then thrown back into the pond."

Xiaoman said, "Who's so wicked?"
